To prevent slugs reaching the plants ensure no leaves or stems overhang the pot’s perimeter, stand next to containers which do not have Slug Gone protection, or place next to walls where slugs can drop onto the plant. Safe to use around children and pets, Slug Gone can also be used to protect against cabbage root fly. The wool pellets are then placed around the plants in a 6? - 8? diameter collar (the pellets must all be touching).

Wool fibres have very fine scales with small barbs on the tip called cuticle cells. These cause wool fibres to felt and matt together. Wool fibres are very hygroscopic and this, plus the sand and grit already in the compound and the potassium salts from the sweat glands of the sheep, absorbs some of the slime from the slug's foot to cause irritation, resulting in the slug finding easier feeding methods.Not only do the slug pellets keep Slugs and Snails at bay, the pellets are also a good mix and balance for growing plants, fruit and vegetables. The pellets hold twice their own weight in water so they act as an excellent mulch, a weed suppressant, a soil conditioner and slow release fertiliser.Slug Gone is 100% natural, ideal for organic gardening and is safe for children, animals and garden wildlife.
